Interesting. I would have drawn the fold line. Measured up the desired dart length and marked the point.

Thanks so much. I love these kinds of posts!
Something I’ve been wondering about regarding drill holes out in the middle of the fabric…doesn’t it cause ravelling? Even though it would be on the inside, for something unlined like a shirt, wouldn’t there be frayed bits along the dart fold?

Sorry to be picky, but didn’t you mean compass instead of protractor? It’s the engineer in me asking…
Isn’t math wonderful?

Something everyone learns in basic geometry and has never seen applied before. Thanks Kathleen.

Brilliant….I make doll clothes and those tiny darts are a bear to find once lost.
Now that I’ve seen how simple this is, I can’t believe I didn’t already know it.

Thank you
